How to Clean Colon Walls

Although constipation happens to everyone, there are some people who are more affected than others. This can cause abdominal pain, bloating and just all around discomfort. All of this happens as a result of backed up waste matter in the colon. In the worst of cases, this can eventually lead to colon cancer. That's what makes cleaning out the colon walls important.

Instructions

• 1

  Eliminate the junk. The first thing you need to do to clean out the colon walls is get rid of all the foods that have caused the colon to get backed up. This would include deep fried foods, processed foods, highly refined foods and foods that are high in saturated fats. These are all hard for the body to digest. Also eliminate heavy amounts of alcohol, coffee and other high calorie beverages like soda. Eat foods that are easier to digest like fruits and vegetables.

• 2

  Eat more fiber. Fiber is a very important substance that helps eliminate toxins and wastes from the body. There are two different types that are both beneficial to the colon. They are called soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble does not. Some sources of fiber are apples, pears, prunes, oat bran, whole grains and psyllium husks, which can also be found in supplement form.

• 3

  Drink more water. Water carries with it a number of benefits. It helps flush toxins from the system, it helps with joint function and it helps raise the body's metabolism. But another thing it does is bind with fiber, which in turn will help promote the evacuation of waste products.

  Get some herbs. There are some natural herbs that can be taken to help facilitate the cleaning out of the colon. These help restore the colon to a healthy state by eliminating wastes and clearing out any parasites that might be on the colon walls. Some examples of these are aloe vera, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, fenugreek seed powder and senna leaf.

  Get a colonic. Colonics, or colon hydrotherapy as it's sometimes called, is a process used to irrigate the colon and cleanse its walls. The way it works is, you get a tool called a speculum inserted into the rectum. Warm water is them slowly filtered in. The water flow is then reversed and all the waste materials get drawn out leaving the colon and colon walls cleaned out.
